Android TV at Google I/O Extended

Google I/O continues to be a massive event, this year with over 7,000 developers. There’s plenty more who wanted to attend but were unable. To help spread the word about Google’s projects and still engage the larger developer community, individuals can plan I/O Extended events where they get together to watch the keynote and host a few sessions of their own.

Developer Paul Trebilcox-Ruiz was one speaker at the Denver I/O Extended event. He gave a short talk to developers about Android TV. A month later the video was finally edited and published so everyone is able to watch.

You can also view the accompanying slides. It gives a good overview of different development aspects of TV: Leanback library, Live Channels, universal search, gamepads, casting, and everything else related to TV.

It’s a good presentation and slideshow. After all, Paul literally wrote the book on Android TV and he has done well with engaging the community and getting their interest. If you’re interested, definitely take a look at some of his content or take a look at the sessions hosted at Google I/O this year.
